If you are into a mobile app business, you might be well aware of the lengthy testing procedure that a mobile application has to go through before going live. However, we cannot deny the fact that the real test begins once the application goes live and the users start using the mobile app.
The result of this test comes in form of ratings and reviews, which help you to judge the impression your mobile application has created in front of your target users. Not to be reminded that while the satisfied customers stay with you (as long as they wish), the unsatisfied never return back.
